Life can feel heavy when you're trying to keep up with work, family, relationships, and everything else on your plate. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or wondering why things that used to feel manageable suddenly don't. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone. We'll work together to better understand what's getting in the way, find practical ways to cope, and help you feel more confident and in control of your life. I offer specialized treatment for trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I also teach effective coping skills, such as, mindfulness, tapping, art therapy, and positive thinking.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship challenges, isolation, and those times when you simply feel stuck or disconnected from the life you want to be living. I especially enjoy working with people who are used to carrying a lot of responsibility, pushing through difficult situations, or being the person others depend on. I see therapy as a team effort. My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and practical, with plenty of room for both honest conversations and humor. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your life, build on the strengths you already have, and identify meaningful, realistic steps toward where you want to go. You bring your experiences, values, and goals to the team; I bring clinical knowledge, curiosity, support, and a willingness to roll up my sleeves and do the work alongside you.

Hi, I’m Emily Fox, LCSW. With more than ten years of experience in the mental health, trauma and addictions field. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the therapy space. I work primarily with adults (18+) who are navigating challenges such as addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, postpartum mental health, parenting and motherhood, and persistent co-occurring diagnoses. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk beside you on your journey of healing and growth. My approach is strengths-based and whole-person focused. I believe that real change happens when we make space for your entire story—your struggles, your resilience, and your potential. Clients often describe me as compassionate, authentic, and down-to-earth. In our sessions, I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore whatever you are carrying, without fear of judgment. I am trained in a wide range of evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT, EFT, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Traumatic Incident Reduction, and more. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model—together, we’ll collaborate on an approach that best fits your goals and needs. What fuels my passion for this work is my own path of personal recovery. That experience allows me to bring not only clinical skill but also genuine empathy to the therapeutic relationship. I know what it feels like to want change but not know where to begin, and I honor the courage it takes to take that first step. If you are looking for a therapist who will support you with compassion, honesty, and effective tools, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and transformation.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
